I won the first game of my 3 streak a few days ago (My 9th win of all time) with a GrEE mostly using forge craft, then without trying to consciously streak I won again on the same day using a MDFi with exclusively translocations magic (Manifold), my first time winning that combo.
I debated between trying a safe combo to extend my streak, but I decided not to, going for a race and class I have never played before, Draconian Alchemist of Yred.
I will say that Dr. Snake is my weakest character I have probably ever won with. I relied on olgreb’s and ignite poison and my zombies for the first half of the game, using sticky flame on anything immune. Eventually I turned pale giving me +2 earth magic and got bombard, and trained that alongside Spellforged Servitor and the Walking Alembic to buff my zombies. Walking Alembic pairs great with ignite poison to create fire clouds. I realized it was going to be tough to finish the game with this spell list, so I decided to hard train hellfire cannon despite the triple skilling. It carried me through the rest of the game, but not easily, not even close.
I got down to 9hp on the orb run. I saw 6 pan lords. I was out of consumables by zot 2. I was sitting there with 66 HP, a brimstone fiend in front of me. I shot my hellfire cannon down to block the fiend, then hit fog. That cost me 2 hits of damnation and I’m down to 22 hp. I believe my cacodemon spirt sacrificed himself to halt the brimstone fiend. A true hero. I walk out of the north door, there is a hell sentinel. Welp, I’m dead. OR NOT! I pop fog and get hellfired, but I am able to run away WITH 9hp, popping fog the second he appears on my screen as he chases me.
I get up to the next floor, but an orb guardian is right next to me. I use like 9 nets to keep him away from me as I run to the next stairs. The rest of the orb run was fortunately much easier.
Oh, and also I bound tiamat in this game. She killed 2 orbs of fire and 2 liches before dying in zot lungs.
For some reason it won’t let me attach my morgue files.
